Recorded means captured in the field or a studio. Designed means built from other material.
Mono for 3D positional audio. Ambisonic and surround for immersive mixes.
What professionals buy most
Ranked by revenue over the last twelve months, not by what arrived last week.
Game audio bundles
Whole working sets rather than single packs, and the one most studios start from.
Ambience
Rooms, weather and places, recorded long and clean so they sit under a scene without drawing attention.
Designed
Hits, risers, whooshes and textures. Built rather than recorded, and ready to drop straight on a timeline.
Vehicles
Cars, motorcycles, trucks and military vehicles. Interiors, pass-bys and full drives, from antique and period machines to current performance cars.
Interfaces
Clicks, confirms, errors and notifications. The smallest sounds in a product and the ones people hear most.
Sci-fi
Engines, drones, weapons and interfaces for things that do not exist yet.
Weapons
Swords, blades, armour and melee impacts, with medieval and fantasy combat alongside ranged and sci-fi.
Before you buy
Where do I start?
Tell us what you are making and we will narrow it down for you. Or start from a recordist whose work you already know. Some release here and nowhere else.
Can I use these commercially?
Yes. One licence covers commercial use, including client work, broadcast and games. No subscription, and nothing expires.
Film, games, audiobooks, all of it?
All of it. The licence does not care what you are making. Audiobooks, podcasts, film, television, games, theatre, advertising, installations.
Do you accept AI-generated sounds?
No. Every library here was recorded or designed by people. We do not accept generated audio from publishers.
How do I know a sound is in there before I pay?
Libraries publish a full tracklist, linked on the library page, and you can play the previews first. Still not sure? Ask us and we will check for you.
Will the files work with my setup?
Everything is WAV. 4,098 libraries carry embedded metadata for Soundminer and UCS, and the sample rate, bit depth and channel format are shown on the library page before you open it.
Where are the full licence terms?
On the licence page, in full, before you buy. Studio and multi-seat terms are there too.
Every category
All 117, grouped. The category menu has them too, with counts.
